El Lujar - a charming garden apartment provides self catering accommodation for two people in one double bedroom.

This well equipped holiday rental has two sets of french windows leading from a private courtyard patio into the light and airy open plan living area. Here you will find a comfortable two seater sofa, large dining table and chairs, side table, coffee table, book shelf and log burning stove. There is a television that receives Spanish TV only, but can also be used to play CDs and DVDs.

Wi Fi is available free of charge.

The kitchen is fitted with cupboards, full sized oven, glass ceramic hob with four rings, overhead extractor fan and full sized fridge. Plates, cutlery etc. are provided for at least four people and there is an extensive range of cooking equipment. The kitchen is tiled with ceramics in traditional local designs, and is clean and modern. It has a window that faces east and allows the morning light to flood in.

Next to the kitchen there is a door leading to the bathroom. This has a sink, W.C. and walk in 'wet room' style shower fitted with a Oxygene power shower. It is fully tiled with shelves, hooks, mirrors, towel rails and a cupboard provided. The bathroom also has an east facing window with frosted glass.

From the sitting room a door leads into a good sized bedroom with a double bed (200cms x 150cms), two side tables with lamps, a chest of drawers, a built in wardrobe, a well stocked bookshelf and an armchair. An east facing window looks out onto the surrounding hillside.

El Lujar has its own private courtyard with flowering potted plants. There is a small covered area just outside the door which leads directly onto a patio, part covered by a pergola, which is for the exclusive use of guests staying in El Lujar. The patio has open views across the garden towards the Rio Bermejo, to the village of Pitres and further to the high summit of El Lujar - on a clear day the Mediterranean sea can be glimpsed way down in the valley. The patio has full sun all day whilst the west facing courtyard offers a perfect location to enjoy the setting sun. Shady areas are provided by a pergola covered in wisteria and grape vines. The private outdoors spaces lead on to the large communal garden where you will be sure to find your favourite, secluded spot. Tables, chairs and sun loungers are provided to allow guests to take full advantage of the outdoor spaces.

Throughout the accommodation the floors have been finished in warm terracota ceramic tiles. There is an underfloor heating system in all areas, the use of which is included in the rental. During most of the year the days are warm enough for t-shirts and light clothing but since the area is mountainous the evenings and early mornings in the cooler months can be chilly and we have found the heating system invaluable. The log burning stove is provided as a cosy luxury and a quantity of logs will be supplied.

El Lujar is ideal for two people.

Robert and William's place offers an idyllic landscape and is a great retreat if you are looking to get away from the chaos of city life.
The house is clean, well-equipped, with a living room and kitchen. The bathroom is clean and the shower is of excellent quality. One tiny note worth mentioning: Robert and William have a house-rule whereby you are not allowed to flush toilet paper so there is a separate bin for this. You have to empty this bin once a day (and the bin is a good 5-10min walk uphill - which can be a mini-work out if you don't have a car!). We did not mind this as it is eco-friendly - but worth mentioning nonetheless! The bedroom is spacious, cool and the bed is very comfortable. The wifi is temperamental at best, however, the place has plenty of books and DVDs to keep one entertained.
The main attraction of Robert and William's place is their beautiful garden. Despite the bees, I found the view from the garden to be the highlight of my stay. Other than that, the place is well located for walks to nearby towns and also good for hiking. While having a car would be useful to get about, I did not mind the walks. Walking to the nearest supermarket takes roughly 20 minutes -- but it is worth the walk: their fruit and vegetables were fresh and full of flavour.
As hosts, Robert and William were kind and generous. Robert picked us up from our coach and also dropped us back. They are easy to communicate with but also respectful of your privacy. Their two dogs were wonderful, friendly, and entertaining.
I would recommend Robert and William's place to anyone looking for a picturesque and quiet place.

Robert and William have created a true sanctuary of beauty and tranquility. We had a wonderful, relaxing time strolling through the garden, indulging in hours of reading, and heading out for occasional explorations. There are lovely things to see and do in the area, but the most lovely is the peace that Cortijo Opazo offers, along with Robert's and William's warm but unobtrusive hospitality. We can't wait to go back.

The place and house are more than lovely. Amazing surroundings,great walks and places to eat. Rob&william were very nice and descrit .
The only and very bad thing it happened was an accident we suffered the second day of our holidays in their house. My boyfriend got a big bite on his leg from the owner's dog called Oska. That accident ruined our next few days of holifays cos it was quite painfull and was not easy to walk or drive for him. They were nice to us,gave us things form cleaning the blood and bandages form the next few days but even though,you will see in their instrucction's book of the house,they expect you to pay for any accident in the house that you may cause,but if it is the other way round.... in our case they just said: we can only give you an apology!!
Hope you find this evaluación quite usefull and it is very honest.
A pleasure to deal with airbnb

Tanggapan dari Robert And William:

We were very sorry the accident happened, your boyfriend came between dogs who wanted to fight since both dogs had a potentially aggressive streak (both uncastrated males). We were really mortified and did what we could at the time. For the rest of your stay we kept Oska in the house so your two dogs could have freedom to be outside. Every time I asked your boyfriend he told me it was OK that the accident was not a problem, so we did not think any further action or compensation was expected. Perhaps we should consider changing our policy and not accept dogs anymore. We are pleased that you liked the surroundings and the house itself.

Absolutely wonderful. Can't imagine a better place to stay in the Alpujarras. Robert and William are above and beyond hospitable and their place is truly magical. Perfect for hiking or relaxing in a beautiful and fully equipped place. Also our dog LOVED it!

Tanggapan dari Robert And William:

Thank you, we are pleased you liked it and to have your dog's approval is a bonus! Oska and Ella hope you will all come back one day.

We have lived in the Alpujarras since 2003. When not looking after our guests we spend most of the time working in the garden, cultivating plants and vegetables, or walking in the mountains here with our two dogs. A simple existence perhaps, but we work hard and try to lead a relatively low impact lifestyle. We also enjoy spending time at the laid back coastal town of La Herradura, on the Costa Tropical coast of Granada.
